Summary
On January 29, 2021 I increased my positions in (JNJ) on a down day for (JNJ)??, when they released their findings on their vaccine.
I have been adding long positions in (MRK)(GILD)(AMGN)(JNJ)(ABBV)(AZN) since September 2020.
Our markets look foolish and more like gambling/gaming then investing.
For more a comprehensive perspective on Covid-19 I now view other information sources from around the world.
“OK Boomer” or even “Boomer” – does not mean anything positive now.

The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine expresses the full-length Spike protein of the SARS-COV-2 virus, allowing for the generation of neutralizing antibody responses to multiple domains of the protein. The full-length Spike protein is 1,273 amino acids long, so while recent variants involve multiple mutations, for instance up to 8 amino acid changes in the spike protein of the B1.1.7 strain, these represent less than a 1% difference from the spike protein encoded by Moderna’s vaccine.

The dawn of a pandemic—as seen through the news and social media posts that vanished from China’s internet.
That day, a Wuhan doctor named Li Wenliang—a whistleblower who had raised alarms about the virus in late December, only to be reprimanded for “spreading rumors”—died of Covid-19.
Within hours, his death sparked a spectacular outpouring of collective grief on Chinese social media—an outpouring that was promptly snuffed out, post by post, minute by minute. With that, grief turned to wrath, and posts demanding freedom of speech erupted across China’s social media platforms as the night went on.

Summary
The political and socio-economic environment in America, is both depressing and disconcerting.
The hostility increases towards everyone connected with the biotech/drug industry during this highly politically charged season.
Politicos still see little to no value in biotech companies and continue to vilify them.
There continues to be much encouraging news and positive clinical tests in the biotech world, including on the coronavirus situation, for the first 2 months of 2020.

Overregulation has played a dangerous role in America’s coronavirus outbreak.Roger D. KleinMarch 4, 2020 Health Care
For those without known exposures, CDC only recommends testing for severely affected patients. In theory, doctors could have tested any individuals in whom they suspected coronavirus, and Vice President Pence on March 3rd encouraged this; however, the unavailability of testing has been a major obstacle in practice. On February 4, following Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar’s declaration of a public-health emergency, the Food and Drug Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the CDC, allowing it to distribute test kits to designated public-health laboratories. The CDC began shipping the kits on February 5, but laboratories could not validate them because they contained a defective reagent.
